Museo Dolores Olmedo, Art museum in Xochimilco, Mexico.
The Museo Dolores Olmedo is an art museum in Xochimilco housed within multiple buildings of a historic estate. It displays paintings, sculptures, and pre-Hispanic objects arranged thematically across its galleries and outdoor spaces.
The museum was founded in 1994 when businesswoman Dolores Olmedo opened her private estate as a public exhibition space. This transformation allowed her extensive art collection to become accessible to visitors.
The works on display reflect how two major Mexican artists captured local traditions and personal stories through their paintings. These pieces continue to speak to visitors about Mexican identity and creative expression.
Weekend visits work best when extended hours apply and special exhibitions are on view. Staff members offer guided tours in various languages to make the visit more informative.
The estate is known for peacocks and Mexican hairless dogs that roam freely through the gardens. These animals are part of the visitor experience and continue a tradition from when Dolores Olmedo lived on the property.
